Trump says he's "disappointed Zelenskyy hasn't yet read the proposal" but "Russia is fine with it"

Of course anyone with half a brain knew how this was going to end long ago: Walk away from Ukraine, walk away from NATO, blame Zelensky, lots of business deals between Trump, his cronies, and our new “friends” the murderous, corrupt, lying Russians.

I am deceased.

This is happening all over the country (is anyone covering it in your state?) but here I've focused on the implications for three cities in Colorado. coloradomedia.substack.com/p/colorado-t...

Holy fuck this is bleak.

Tech fascists believe they are going to merge with AI, live forever and colonize the universe as a species of self-replicating machines that eat the energy of the stars. We can think big, too. Anything is possible. Don't let billionaires monopolize the power of radical imagination.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Given that the Russians quite literally drafted our capitulation plan for Ukraine one has to wonder about whether there wasn’t at least a bit of cutting and pasting here.

Another tariff blow. Stepped into a @Lowe’s lately? Crappy little Chinese tools that were $8-14 four months, are now $18-45. Throughout the store, same story. And nobody in the MSM is talking about it. Because the Right now owns most of it.

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Opinion: "I have no issue with a 250th commemorative pass; it’s a significant milestone. But instead of highlighting something 'American' — say, the bald eagle or a bison — the U.S. Department of the Interior decided to do the ultimate troll job." www.westword.com/opinion/tr...

Freeman's going to whittle down the whole of humanity until the only people who are socially acceptable are herself and daughter-marrying elderly filmmakers who have been credibly accused by the children they didn't marry of abuse

Is there a legitimate question for the Opus Dei Court relating to birthright citizenship? Of course not. Not remotely. But that's never gotten in the way of Opus Dei jurisprudence, which revolves entirely around reaching a desired result.

I'm not sure what Trump thought he was doing by posting the Cuellar daughters' letter & his "lack of LOYALTY" rant, but, in addition to making clear the transactional nature of the pardon in his mind, he also admitted that a transparently flattering letter is all it takes for him to grant a pardon.

Read it and weep, stupid America!

Hegseth reversed the policy Mark Esper put in place in 2020, which was designed to prevent “discrimination, prejudice, and bias in all ranks.” Hegseth wants to know what they look like when these decisions are made.

Looks pretty clear now that Trump has broken the old pattern of quick recovery after shutdown approval losses. You might say that a string of ugly stories has prevented that, but are they really any worse than "normal" over the last 10 months?

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

Comforting to know that the company this ghoul founded has access to all of our data.
